VP communication Tom Bratlie leaves Norske Skog

Tom Bratlie, vice president in charge of corporate communications, has decided

to leave Norske Skog. He takes on a similar position with the Norway-based oil

and gas company DNO International.

- Tom Bratlie has done a very good job as head of communications and company

spokesperson during a challenging period for Norske Skog. I regret his decision

to leave but wish him all the best in his new position, says CEO Sven

Ombudstvedt.

Bratlie leaves Norske Skog in June. The process to find a new head of

communications has begun.

Bratlie joined Norske Skog in 2004 and has been head of corporate communications

since 2006.
